help! "torque-steer"???

[Yeeehaw86]

Since my last wheeling trip, my steering has kind of had a funny feeling. Like a bump in it. Recently that has changed into almost a 'torque-steer' feeling. kind of like driving a front wheel drive car too fast Anyways, I'm not sure what to look for to diagnose the problem, but I need to fix it. It seems that when I accelerate hard, it will pull the wheel in one direction, then kind of pop free when the tranny shifts. I don't know if this is a steering issue or if the transfer case is deciding to throw it into 4wd all the time or what the problem is. Also, the truck seems to sway back and forth quite a bit more than it used to at high speeds, (60-80mph). I haven't modified anything on the truck recently that could have caused this. I do believe that it started just after my last trip to shoe creek. I almost rolled twice, and had a lot of pressure on the front driver side wheel. most of the weight of the truck was on it. Any help with where to start on this is greatly appreciated. Thanks

i would start with an alignment check.

if it were the alignment, wouldn't it be constantly swaying, instead of strongly pulling just before a shift, or under hard acceleration? I will check out the alignment, but I was just wondering. Thanks

Could always do the brown wire mod and that would help eliminate the question of if it's going into 4x4 randomly or not. I wonder if a bearing or something got screwed up causing that wheel to accelerate slower or something....that could be the most retarded guess at a problem ever...I dunno. Jack up that side and check and see if bearings or something are loose or wiggling, get under it and see if anything looks just wrong. Check the cv shaft and see if any of the boots or anything are torn...maybe tore a boot and the joints in the shaft are seizing....
